It has been announced that the new Cillian Murphy-starring thriller 'Sunshine' will be released on 5 April.

The thriller, which reunites Murphy with '28 Days Later' director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland ('The Beach'), is set in 2057 and follows a spacecraft crew on a mission to reignite the dying sun with a nuclear device.

While travelling through space they hear a distress beacon from another crew who went on the same mission seven years earlier and soon find their lives and sanity in jeopardy.

'Sunshine' also stars Michelle Yeoh ('Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'), Rose Byrne ('Troy') and Chris Evans ('Fantastic Four').
